Another cactus flower. I did the processing on my new MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to get used to a slightly different workflow. I will also have to get used to the color and brightness settings, so we'll see how things turn out.

Hey, Ryan. Great to see some new photos this past month. I love this cactus flower. That reminds me...I've been redecorating my living room, and I'd like to hang some new art. How do I go about purchasing 3 of your flower shots? I want to put them in a horizontal frame over my piano.

Also, I've had you on my calendar for next weekend. Your mom said things may have changed. You know you are most welcome to land here if it works out.

Hi Ryan, congrats on your new toy. Yeah, if you are switching from Windows, you need to change your workflow a bit. But once you've got used to it, things will be quite convenient. Nope. I don't have mac :(

You got a good shot here. Did you desaturated the background. Nice work.
